Nice cathedral with many elements. Entrance is 10 kuna, worth to spend. Baptistery is small but the ceiling is very effective. More

Exterier of the cathedral is unique in many ways. No matter how many UNESCO churches and cathedrals you've seen before, and no matter if you're architecture fan or not - this one you'll remember. More

Stopped by on our way to Zadar, and were not disappointed. The church and old town is worth seeing, not the newer town. We came here because of the UNESCO cathedral! More

The dark crucifix on the left side of the church almost made this non-believer convert. The baptizing room was amazing, as the other reviewer said. No photos allowed in this... More

In my opinion the best part of the whole church was the baptistery. It cost a few kuna to enter, and I saw numerous visitors pass it by. Don't. The dome ceiling of the small room is covered with elaborate sculpture that makes exceptional use of natural light filtering in through tiny windows hidden by an ornate trellis. More
